From the reviews
West Manor Estate was the first wedding venue my fiance and I visited, and we fell in love with it. We checked out a few other venues afterwards, but West Manor was "the one!" It is absolutely gorgeous, elegant, and exudes class.
As a wedding videographer and a 2023 bride, I HIGHLY recommend West Manor! They helped turn my dream wedding into a reality. It was the best night of our life and our friends and family had the best time. The staff were so professional and kept the entire place spotless.
My wife and I recently attended a wedding at this venue and we were impressed by how nice the event space was.
Our daughter got married here on August 26, 2017. The whole day was wonderful. Jamie, our wedding planner and Jake, the Estate Manager, had everything planned to the minute and had the Estate looking immaculate.
Getting married at West Manor Estate
West Manor Estate comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at West Manor Estate
Corporate events, retreats, or private parties come up for West Manor Estate — greenhouse venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
